Lamar for the supreme Court Swim
burne'- Poetry on tn. WIre-N National
Banks The New York Doodle Election.
Mr.. Chauncey Depew. Republican
statesman, philosopher and finanicer, made
a speech before the New York Chamber
Of Commerce in which he drewia gorgeous
sketch Of the prosperity OF the country,
concerning which the H1rdId says
And now comes one Of the honored
leaders of the party of great moral ideas
and perquisiles, possible dark horse in
1888, and kicks all The Fat into the fire by
asserting that the country was never in
such healthy condition as now. The Re
publican milk is spilled, the ballon has
been pricked and the collapse Is terri
bic
We'll II cant be helped now But il
is an awful thwack on the head for the
Republicans, and there is only one duty
left for Mr. Depcw toperform. He must
not stand shivering on the brink, bu
doiI his hat in respectful farewell to his
party, leave them crashing their teeth at
a man who dares 10 be more Of a patriot
than politician, make the plunge boldly
and swim for the solid Democratic
shore

pew 4"

As Mr.. J.. Q. C. Lamar is to fill the va
cant place IN the Supreme Court it may
be interesting TO those who count on thai
place to aid the repudiators to hear his
views expressed this week before the
New York Chamber of Commerce,
Said Mr. Lamar There is another
vital element which forms a basis upor
which rests all things, and that is mer
Camille honor. There have been many
inventions which increase tonnage anc
all things which go to make up success
ful commerce. But none of YOU car
name one that can compare to the power
of commercial credit, and this rests on
regard for obligations, the appreciation
OF commercial honor

party of this State to defeat, is now fig

which was saved from the wreck by the
present unfair spportionment-N y.
Times.
That is the curious part of it that the
State of New York should be Demo-
cratic on the popular vote and still the
Legislature could be ierrymandered by
the Republicans.

The recommendation of Commissioner
Black for equalization of disability pen
sions is favorably regarded, as are also
propositions FOR the relief of the severely
manned, of those who were prisoners of
war, and for aid to all widows of vet
Grams.
BY all means give the real veterans
what they are entitled to and what the
people want them to have, but stamp out
the bogus claimants to bounty.

The New York Times wisely remarks
that the only danger in this country
comes from people educated under mon
archical systems.
Ii is also true that no mOnarchical
country could nave so unanimously

Hence the philosophical thinker may
conclude that America is blessed with a
healthy and sensible public opinion tina,
is the best guarantee Of safety.

The discussion on the various sorts Of

As to the uses and abuses of ccmpli''

The eagerness with which certain
gentlemen are declaring, on the smallest
provocation, that they are not candidates
for United States Senator is amusing. TO
say the least. If anybody ever asked
some Of them TO be candidates il was a
joke so pslpable that the wonder is they

Mr. Conklng. In his high price argu.
ment In the Virginia habeas corpus cases,
spoke of the English holders of Virginia
bonds as Spectators, trying TO make a
large profit out of their investment" Mr..
Tucker, in his lower priced argument,
spoke Of them as 'peddlers of coupons.
Virginia spoke very differently Of the
people referred TO when she took their OF
their fathers money in exchange for her
bonds That exchange was made at her
urgent solicitation, and instead Of calling
them "ayaricious spectators" and ped
dlers Of coupons she spoke of them as
her benefact0rs, and expressed to them

That the late election in this city in.
yolved the expenditure Of nearly 81 900.
600, of which only $4,000 were required
for the legal and official machinery, is
certainly a startling fact.
Nothing could show more clearly the
need Of a thorough electoral reform, in
Guiding a new system of conducting cleo.
tions, than do the facts and figures pre-
scented by the World yesterday.
That $244, 900 were contributed by can
didates for judicial Office or their patisan
hackers and friends is A scandal in our
politics and a fact calculated TO put the
administration Of justice under suspicion.
When offices are bought and sold the
essence OF Democracy Is destroyed.-N
